moment. It is from the broch at Howe in Stromness, and is described as
‘found in ditch deposits’ dating to the early centuries AD (Ballin
Smith (ed) 1994, 177). This is one of three single-sided one-piece combs in the
Orkney Museum (as distinct from miniatures), but this one has a very very close
parallel from Kettleburn in Caithness, and I’m wondering how many more
there may be. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

I am still waiting for all those amazing

only two of you have responded with any pictures. It can be an all Hungarian
year but that would be a pity.<br>
